Lawyers’ group opposes proposed amendment to the Immigration Control Law that would “keep the technical intern training system alive”. Lawyer Shoichi Ibusuki said, “The new system is just replacing the signboards, and I firmly oppose it.'' They also view it as a problem because it is still allowed to collect fees from foreign workers when sending them to Japan.
The government decided at a cabinet meeting on the 15th to amend the immigration Control Act. It aims to abolish the technical internship training system and establish a new "developmental employment system"
